The Theater: The Theater, May 4, 1942

Keep 'Em Laughing (produced by Clifford C. Fischer in association with
the Shuberts). Just when vaudeville had been finally given up for dead,
Producer Fischer put on Priorities of 1942 (TIME, March 23) and gave
Broadway the only living thing it has seen in months. Last week, with
Priorities an established hit, Fischer put out another vaudeville. On
paper Keep 'Em Laughing looks like a better show, in performance proves
a less enjoyable one.
Chief reasons: it lacks high spirits, and almost all its headliners go
into tailspins.
